[Gio2baker]

[CaptainBorris]

He learned the song backwards, and yes, you can do it. If you watch Weird Al's Amish Paradise he does it too.

[alaric007]

congrats on winning.

[Bolt4Life]

Althought I still think Linfield sucks, I liked this video =D

[ex3vious]

i heard he had to memorize the song backwards, but that dont make sense because he could have just recorded the song and put that song to the video and just have people dance around. then use backwards effect...

[hiddendreamer1991]

he had to memorize it backwards so that he could lip-sync it.

[AbsolutionTV]

Wow! Awesome job! The effect is really nice and the song sounds really cool backwards.

[n0body12]

Cool Backwards!

[michellepyfrom]

the bomb of all videos

[FanciB]

I'm still amazed every time I watch it. I was a kid when MTV came out and have seen alot of music videos. This is my favorite ever. You are a genius. (Runs in the family!)

[FilmstarProductions]

[OrionStarfighter]

[adlad75]

Nice.  There were some other guys on YouTube who had a whole series of backward (and forward) vids....Wonder what ever happened to them?

[thatkrazy006guy]

pretty awesome...maybe just a little to much rewind...??? but thats just me its awesome though.. i just would have mixed the backwards stuff mixed it up

[Zactastic]

i watch this video once every two weeks. thanks guys! it really gets me motivated!

[waterfunker]

I love this vid.

very good.

[ex3vious]

what video editor do you use?

[brazilwanttobe]

Nice showy subjects in fun scene water sports and pirated music with excellent photography. Excellent.

[kc5vkg]

in case you didn't know the music isn't pirated...this was an entry (and eventual winner) for the Samsung UpSatge Lip Sync contest.

[xiriselx]

awsome!

[somegirlwhosayhi]

awsome.

[rebel3me]

this is rly cool

[Drums0212]

congratulations on winning the contest..the video was obviously the best..great work!

[alliekat28]

This is AWESOME. It must have been pretty hard to make. Lol, this pool area reminds me so much of the resort in High School Musical 2.

[Sebroid]

gr8

[matato007]

Fantastic...just FANTASTIC!!!

[MysteryGuitarMan]

You still need a program to reverse it, though. Like, Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, etc.

[angbang]

If you like backwards videos, do a YouTube search for "bside 1111."

[shamgirls]

I hope this wins!!! i love this video!!! So far this has been the best!!

[louistr]

That was sooo cool!

[HuDeanee]

what program do you use to reverse it?

[J0nD0c]

hudeanee, just play it backwards...lmao

[skatinanwaitin]

how long did this video take to plan and everything?

[bobiscool134]

awesome job on this video, must have taken forever to get the timing right

[HumanTurkey]

It's basically impossible, that's why you won.

[Tigerantha]

You guys are so awesome!

[snubbyj]

Wow. you definitely know that song from front to back then haha

[cbmtrx]

That is excellent--and brutally difficult!

[sekurainbunker]

It looks excelent, one of the best :D. You really done something extraodrinary with the old backwards cliche. The only big problem is the tripod shaddow cast on...well..everything...

[sugarandspice999]

awesome

[madison9292]

You dance like you're constipated.

[aatragon]

very very clever!

[kyrstingirl811]

wow that was really good!

congrats!=)

loved it!

[DeltaDJ2006]

grats :O)

[Nichwyto]

If you reversed this how did the words play foward?

[nino0057]

lip-synch backwards.

[Nichwyto]

So you say the words in order backwards, and repeat them backwards, or just in order backwards

[nino0057]

Everything backwards.

[Nichwyto]

how would you know how to say the words backwards?

[MysteryGuitarMan]

You practice...

[fakeittomakeit]

Yeah, obviously. It was just so out of place and it was pissing me off.

[fakeittomakeit]

Did anyone notice the tripod shadow on his shirt? It was, like, yelling at me. Like, what the hell is that doing there?

[billabbott2000]

A very ingenious video. Your commitment and concentration are to me admired, and you made it all look so easy. All of your friends are great! Thanks.

[daisukiforever]

great job!luvd it!

[smcross9]

Dude...it takes ALOT of talent to be able to mouth worda backwards to then play them to make em look proper...great job!

[shazalomaniac]

applause!

u made an effort to get the backward words to sing this baby

lol

great effort ;)

[TakunaNuva]

The really amazing thing is that as the video is backwards, HE WAS LIP SYNCING BACKWARDS! Dang... Did you play the song backwards and lip sync to that, or something?

[pantstheif]

this ruled. and you are hot... ;]

[shamgirls]

This should definetely win!!!

[crazyolexi]

hey are u the blonde guy???

oh yeah it's very good

[xoashleytisdalefanxo]

VERY good, it certainly deserved to win. Are you the blonde? And also, I have to say, I've never seen such a beautiful place before (I've never been to anywhere but Florida) which is where I live, so yea. Unless you count me living in Virginia for 1 month. =/

[razzyboo123]

are u the blonde dude?

[Nightlegend39]

i like it

great song

[Melbug21]

This is an awsome video! Everything was dont so perfectly!

[acsherm3]

Amazing video and effort. Looks like everyone had fun in the back ground and most the comments have been favorable. You did it...THEY picked it. WooHoo!!

[Seizure22]

[jump9823]

this one shouldn't have won

[DontShootSam]

awesome.

[Durani3]

Very good video!

The backwards stuff is really, really clever!

[KriebsIsGod]

Alot of assholes sat here and posted alot of shit about how your video is just an REM knockoff and stuff, and that the guy lip syncing is a homo. Fuck them. This is a great video you got here, It's just pure brilliantness.

[junsumoney]

That's so awesome!

[Squier27]

Nice vid guys. did u know that jack johnson's music video for "sitting, waiting, wishing" is also backwards like this one.

[dizzyandparanoid]

Great video. I certainly hope you make more in the future. I to am a....Murrietan? Murrietican? Murrietonite? Anyways....well....congrats, in advance.

[dreny91]

grats! =)

[lukabo969]

Good luck hope ya win, Tommorow we'll all know :D

[hollywoodlands1]

great job. must have been insane learning the song backwords

[NightwishXIII]

One of the green balls bounces off his face LOL

[brigoz1]

No jump cut. Try one take. Who in Hollywood can do that? The future has just begun. Have fun.

[NeoshadowXC]

JUMP CUT AT THE 28 SECOND MARK!

LOOK REALLY CLOSELY AT HIS HANDS!

[LStriker120]

[timkressin]

[Clydsdalechip]

Easy to see why you won - that was incredible! Great job.

[loveinrock247]

look at the camra shadow on the singer

[llxTheCmanxll]

im..i...THAT WAS AWSOME!!!

[HnGcorp]

WoW. I'm speechless. That must of took a ton of practice! Great job!

[Wigsmagee]

We love this video! We see something new every time we watch! I agree with "aquietnyx" who put in a request for you to post the backwards video "backwards" so we could see it forwards. Now that you've won the contest, have you considered doing that?

and yes I did vote :)

[errolwebberjr]

Wow! I'm in total shock. GREAT JOB!

[CampfireAdam]

yes very nice. just watch out for the shadow of the camera and sticks next time. ;~) all good. nice job.

[johnnyboyCT]

Excellent.

[fantabulous101]

WOW! you had to memerise the whole song backwords?!?!?!

[wolfpak6]

Yeah!!! When's the party? We wanna be there!

[FamousProductions06]

YOU WON CONGRATS!

[ckitty1526]

The sincerest form of flattery is...

Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Coldplay - The Scientist

Pharcyde, Drop

[kzdz]

insane!!!

[TTRFilms]

umm the guy singing dances really akwardly and he shoudl louse the mushroom cut... thats the only bad thing of this video everythign else is great

[ltpotential]

i don't understand how his lips go with the song even though the video is backwards???

[AniMangaKid92]

lots of practice...

[styx2112rush]

this video shouldnt win, its just a bunch of random crap going on...

[kittygue]

awesome! brillant. i love it!!

[catmcgrath8]

hey good job!! if this is scotty's profile then good job scott!! but if not then u guys still did really!!! i like it lots!

McGrath

[bongmanding]

Awesome!

[k80akus]

Hope you win

[tshirtjay]

Sucks.

[88KeViNG88]

wow nice one!

[1031ROGUE]

if they stole the idea or not it really doesn't matter, what should matter is that the video has nothing to do with the song. singing it backwards isn't that cool. other videos have stories to them or atleast look better. The video im involved with was also made on no budget and we could afford to edit our video...

[FatalEnvy86]

Hey, I liked that.

[emceegreentea]

wow ur video is so good Pharcyde and spike jones stole your idea. no wait. you stole their idea and ur video is worthless. lucky for you the judges and most ppl are too uncultured too know.you deserve to loose. PEOPLE SHOULD SEE THE TRUTH SEARCH FOR:

The Pharcyde-drop

on youtube

[CaptainJamos]

Dude, the people who made this video OPENLY said that this was not an original idea... and as many other people have said "Coldplay, REM, Pharcyde, and MANY other bands have done this" But they had a lot of original ideas and applied them to there video well.

[CaptainJamos]

ALSO they did this on a extremely low budget (by that I mean literally like NO money) So I applaud there creativity and brilliance to be able to take an idea for a music video, like "Pharcyde's drop" and apply it to such a crappy song and get sooooo many people interested in it.

WELL DONE!

[emceegreentea]

still this video sucks it has nothing to do with the song. these are just some sheltered rich kids with no life experience resulting in no original ideas.

[hollywoodlands1]

It still took a lot of work and they did a great job with what they had. And stop assuming, you clearly know very little yourself

[mikebuck2]

that was awsome hope u win because you deserve it

[dxstudios]

wow, well done, creative, great idea!

[MGZolyn]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tylerkoehn]

amazing!

[playas6917]

I mean THAT WAS THE SH!T

[playas6917]

That's was sh!t

[SweetandSourSymphony]

That was wicked! I'd love it!

-Goes off to vote for you-

[SteinRobRaths]

You win, thats that

[EvaKins11]

Omg I love it soo much..!

And the song =]

[boombaby02]

looks hard

[pinayxx]

awesome, nice work, good luck, you deserve it!

[conjonbon]

sucked....kudjo24's was better

[Spartantz89]

kudjo24's vid was pretty good but i still like this one it took alot of time for that guy to learn those lyrics backwards...hell 10 hours just to learn it wow...gj go inland empire hahaha

[brigoz1]

Hey, your new "Umbrella" video is hot!

[ListenerFriend]

Wow you guys. I'm so impressed and proud to call you all my friends and past schoolmates. Please ignore the negative comments made that are there to tear you down. Keep up your witness in your responses and attitude. Some of the other messengers and applicants to this contest can learn from you if you keep it real. Your movie was terrific, you guys are terrific, and your Ultimate Director is terrific for giving you this blessed gift! -- Liz Chance ;)

[ferreally]

awesome... reminds me of that one band that did that backwards music video. you will def. win. I will vote for you, the guy with the blonde hair looks like Aron Carter... however you spell his name. By the way, the my girl video was funny

[RushinDwarf]

Sigh...Ok intosportz Im not going to argue about this senseless topic and spam this guys comment boards anymore. Comments arent made just for praises they are made for, as you corrected me, opinions also. So that was my opinion. Live with it please and stop arguing on this guys boards?

Im done here. If you would like to argue about this further, go ahead and e-mail me if you feel so called to get the last word in.

[Chobocobo1]

lol so awesome.... must tell my friends to vote

[Chobocobo1]

This video is awesome! Nice job I've watched it over and over. I hope you win

[riffraff3055]

They get so many views because it's visually interesting. Even after the first time through people will come back to see it again.

[RushinDwarf]

38,139 views... *whistles* whats ur secret?

[mbws323]

How bout ya'll quit commenting on this one and give the other videos a look. Just because this is #1 nobody seems to give the other entries a look!

[riffraff3055]

Very nice video. Spike Jones and The Pharcyde did this same concept first (search youtube for "Pharcyde, Drop"). Extremely difficult to pull off. If you get a chance to watch the making of "Drop" you'll know what I mean.

[b0rk1983]

Im so embarrased to even look at the comments now... such bickering! Whatever happened to constructive criticism?

[RushinDwarf]

im sorry tracy, I wasnt calling ur repsonse immature, It was intosportz which i thought was rude and immature.

Sorry for the confusion. and I totally agree with you.

[imtracyward]

RUSHINDWARF-No apology necessary! I think there are a lot of "sour grapes" on here. I think these kids should give themselves a hand for all of the publicity!!! No matter good or bad..they have DEFINITLY created the "buzz" it takes to make it. People are talking, watching and voting. I don't understand the put downs..tremendous work went in to this I am sure...

[timkressin]

thank you so much for the positive comments. yes it was a lot of planning and work and thinking that went into this and we had a ton of fun making it. Im glad to see its getting more views and i appreciate your comments on our hard work. thank you. tim.

You are SO welcome..and deserving..GOOD LUCK!!!!

ps..I have watched ALL of the other video's (including YOUR videos)and yours is the best. You've got what it takes!!! GOOD LUCK although I don't think you will need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
